'A beautiful, epic tale of love and perseverance' Booklist 'Often filled with sumptuous prose' Publishers Weekly 'Charming...epic...a journey repeatedly facilitated by the kindness of strangers, but also fraught with danger and pitfalls...[a] 7,000-mile journey across continents, lasting almost five months - all in the name of love.' Daily Mail '[This] is one of those genuinely illuminating stories that come along once in a while. At heart an against-all-odds love story, this wonderful book does so much to explain why Indian society is the way it is. The story of PK, growing up an 'untouchable' at a time when such labels should have been abolished, is touching, harrowing and ultimately enlightening. The writing is humorous and tender, the cast of characters joyous, and best of all - it's all true.' Vaseem Khan, author of The Baby Ganesh Detective Agency series 'A must-read because you won't find any other love story that is so beautiful, touching, and - above all - true' Grazia 'This is a story of human connection that spans continents, class, and race.'
